Is this Mr.. Atkinson, Of the At
kinsOn House Furnishing Co!
Yes, sir, what's wanted!
Mr.. B--Wanted / want TO kill
myself, and shall have to, unless l
go to dinner well-informed con-
corning your goods that you have
been advertising this week. Your
Mondays Bulletin was a starter
for me, and l promised my wife
that / would go and see the Side
board you advertised for $l6.75,
and / did go; but, do you know, l
saw SO many things that | wanted
| forgot all about that, but ! must
report to-day, or Sunday will be
no rest for me. Now tell me all
about it.
67-A--Weli, it's a fine wood top
Sideboard, stands 6 feet high,
4Ox2O, handsome fretwork, two
doors. and drawers lined with vel
vet, a beauty, and worth actually
$500.
MIR. B.-NOw that Chamber Set
just set my wife wild; she has
wanted Chamber Set with a
Chiffonier and Mirror for long
time; you say that is solid Oak,
and worth $500; ii pieces!
Yes, can give it to you in Oak,
Cherry, Ash, or Imitation MahOg-
any; and, by the way, that ParlOr
Suit for $500, that you want, will
not be here forever; now, as / told
you, that Suit was never sold be-
fore for less than $500, and, as
a friend, i advise that you take it
now; there are only six left.
Mr.. B--Well, send up the Oak Set
and / will call down Monday; that
Reclining Chair took my fancy, /
think I'll have that; and, by the
way, what have y0u got for a
Range! that, / must have.
You know the Quaker, we sold
your brother two years ago? no
finer Range ever made, as he has
often said. Then, there is the
New Tariff, equally as good, lit
tie more deliberately gotten up,
and costs a dollar or two more;
either one wild more work and
use less fuel than any other Range
i'm the market, and never break;
then we have score besides, i'm
fact, any kind you may want, and
as to price we can sell at most any
figure you may want us to, and
don't forget, what many are APT
to, that we put in 20 pieces OF
Ware, Pipe, and Zinc, and then
sell less than any other live man
can sell the same grade for.
Bring Mrs. B., Monday; would
not give a cent for man to leave
his wife at home; we have had
come i'm this week host Of things
that she never saw. And, by the
way, our Phoenix Folding Bed
line is again complete, and if You
want to see the handsomest piece
of furniture you ever saw, just
stand i'm front of No. AT; it has a
French Plate Mirror the whole
length; yon can see every hair in
your head, and it, the mirror, is a
beauty.
Mr.. B.-We will come; one more
thing / want 10 ask, will yOu to-
morrow, Saturday, sell the goods
that you have advertised this week
at the same prices you have quot
ed in the paperss
Yes, we shall make one day of
the whole matter; come early, for
there will be a crowd; we have had
a smashing week and tomorrow
will be no exception; we shall do
better than we advertise, for there
are thousands of things that we
would like to speak of, but have to
fOrbear. Tell Mrs. B. to not let
us forget to show her our latest
DraperIes; we are proud OF this
line, for we have many patterns in
Chenille of our own designing that
have been spoken highly OF and the
best of it is they sell. Now, don't
